Umbrellamouth
Team Umbrellamouth – Dan Gorman, Jason Pogo, Chris Palmer. Umbrellamouth is a fish that lives forty thousand feet under the surface of the sea: we try to view our subject matter from a great distance, allowing us to remove our own contextual feelings and preconceptions, hopefully gaining a more objective and 'truer' representation of the subject's reality. Our work to date has been represented through live performance using video and sound.
